Abstract
Piranha solution is a dangerous and useful substance used throughout academia and industry. However, there is little peer-reviewed work on its safe use, and institutional protocols are limited in their applicability beyond their institute of origin. Here, we review institutional safety protocols for Piranha use to develop a consensus on the best safe practices and try to fill any gaps and resolve any ambiguities with reference to the related safety literature.
